Special Notice - For the year 2010 only the Influenza Training course is mandated.  18may10

SUBJ: MANDATED TRAINING (MT) REQUIREMENTS FOR CY09 AND CY10 A. MANDATORY USE OF TRAINING MANAGEMENT TOOL (TMT), COMDTINST 5270.2 (SERIES) 1. THIS ALCOAST UPDATES REF (A) WHEREAS GENERAL MANDATED TRAINING

(GMT) IS NOW REFERRED TO AS MANDATED TRAINING (MT). THIS MESSAGE PUBLISHES A REVISED LIST OF RECURRING MT REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF MT ON THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBER RECOGNIZING THAT EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL HAVE COMPLETED MULTIPLE ITERATIONS OF THE SAME TRAINING THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER.

2. THE PURPOSE OF MT IS TO BUILD AWARENESS AND ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITIES, AND ATTITUDES OF OUR WORKFORCE REQUIRED TO PERFORM CG MISSIONS. MT MAY ONLY BE ESTABLISHED WHEN EXPLICITLY REQUIRED BY AN OFFICIAL MANDATE SUCH AS PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE, OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT POLICY, PUBLIC LAW, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) OR COAST GUARD POLICY REQUIREMENTS, OR WHEN MT IS DETERMINED BY THE FORCE READINESS COMMAND (FORCECOM) AS THE MOST EFFICIENT MEANS OF DELIVERY FOR A VALID TRAINING REQUIREMENT.

3. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF ALL MT HAS BEEN PLACED UNDER THE SINGULAR AUTHORITY OF FORCECOM. FORCECOM HAS TAKEN SEVERAL STEPS TO MINIMIZE THE TRAINING BURDEN ON UNITS AND INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT COMPROMISING MT REQUIREMENTS, SUCH AS THE ELIMINATION OF ALL UNVALIDATED LEGACY GMT AND THE CREATION OF POLICY AND CONTROLS TO STANDARDIZE DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT OF MT.

THESE STEPS INCLUDE THE USE OF E-LEARNING WHENEVER FEASIBLE, TARGETING MT TO THE REQUIRED AUDIENCE, AND ALLOWING MEMBERS TO TAKE A PRE-TEST TO TEST OUT OF THE COURSE IF ALL TRAINING OBJECTIVES ARE MET. MT CONTENT WILL BE TAILORED TO THE USER BASED ON PRE-TEST RESULTS, DEVLIVERING CUSTOMIZABLE CONTENT BASED ON OBJECTIVES NOT MET, AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING DELIVERY TIME. DIRECTIONS ON TEST OUT CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://LEARNING.USCG.MIL <HTTPS://LEARNING.USCG.MIL>. USERS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OUT ALL COURSES. MT COURSES WILL BE LIMITED TO 45 MINUTES IN LENGTH, UNLESS APPROVED BY FORCECOM (FC-5). THE AVERAGE TOTAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE SERIES OF MT COURSES IN 2008 WAS OVER 17 HOURS PER PERSON. THE NEW DESIGN FEATURES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE EXPECTED TO REDUCE THE AVERAGE TOTAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE MT SERIES TO FEWER THAN 6 HOURS. WHEN THE REDESIGN IS COMPLETE OOA JULY 2010, THE AVERAGE TOTAL TIME FOR EACH MEMBER TO TAKE MT WILL BE LESS THAN 4 HOURS. FOR EXAMPLE, RECENTLY A MEMBER WITH 15 YEARS IN THE CG COMPLETED THE ENTIRE SET OF MT IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS. THE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCE WITH SOME OF THE REOCURRING MT COURSES ALLOWED HIM TO TEST OUT OF A MAJORITY OF THE COURSES BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT MATERIAL THROUGH THE PRE-TEST OPTION.
